Hahahah, nah, not to be a buzzkill, but I use that avatar elsewhere online (including my Twitter, which I guess only gets a workout during baseball season apparently) and was just tired of looking at Pavel Brendl. That was from when I joined a year ago and was on a huge NHL 2004 kick of winning games with nothing but busts and disappointing players (this team included old Lightning flameouts Nikita Alexeev and Alex Svitov). It was also of a player who was, at the time, in a Flyers uniform, and I think I fit right in with the rest of us when I talk about having no love lost for the Flyers; Philadelphia, really, given all those Tampa-Philadelphia playoff meetings in hockey and football (and also Rays-Phillies in the 2008 World Series, but I'm not a Rays fan).
When it comes to Sonic, I'm about as stuck to S1, S2, S3, and S3&K as it gets. Sometimes I play Sonic Spinball. There is a wonderful website - Vizzed, that has all these games and various hacks (which is how I got this avatar; try Knuckles on the Doomsday Zone on regular S3&K, and you'll just get a glitched Knuckles). Came across that site a couple of years ago and it was nice to be brought back to a favorite childhood game of mine (I'm between 20-25; that's about as much of a clue as my age as I ever give online, and flashback 12 years when Sonic 1 came out, and it makes perfect sense that I would be the quintessential Sonic fan).
My brothers and I all had those first four Sonic games along with Spinball on an old Genesis, but we never went beyond that, and I went a long time not playing the games, either. So, as far as the story of Sonic is concerned, I never really followed along with it.

tl;dr - can't really give an informed response to that video and post, sorry buddy .
